Cam chain adjuster modification/extension (Read 163 times)

Garry Junior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 61	Cam chain adjuster modification/extension 05/04/16 at 00:34:43 Does anyone know if it is possible to weld the extension onto the cam chain adjuster as per the Versy modification using an electric stick welder? I saw somewhere that the preferred method is a MiG welder using Argon shielding. None of that means anything to me but I do have a normal stick welder!!!

Prefer it over my stick welder for fine stuff but I'm real old school.

I don't have an oxy but aren't too bad with the stick welder! Looks like there are lots of people out there who have done this mod themselves? Would be interesting to see pictures of the results!

Just used a mild steel welding rod. Some 2.5mm blue thing. I used a little scrap of 3mm steel welded to the tip of the real adjuster, ground it flat, drilled and called it good.
Here's a link to a build log that shows it just the way I did it. Post 17 for the pics. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1304722902/15
